What is Stabfish 2?
Stabfish 2 is the sequel to Stabfish.io, made by Zytech AI and released in September 2021. The original was single-player; this one pits you against real players in a shared arena. Your weapon is your tusk. You ram into enemies to impale them, then drive them into a wall to release food. That food restores your strength and keeps you in the fight. The game mixes fast .io combat with a looting and crafting system that lets you build and equip gear between hunts.

| Evolution | Notes |
|---|---|
| Blue Shark | Starting form, basic tusk attack |
| Great White | Mid-tier, faster and harder-hitting |
| Megalodon | Top form, maximum power and abilities |
Looting, crafting, and the Armageddon event
Every fight drops materials, blueprints, and cosmetic items. You use materials to craft equipment from blueprints, with gear coming in different rarity tiers. A shield can be crafted and equipped to your fish's back once you have the right blueprint, which you can find in treasure chests or from defeated enemies. Ore for crafting spawns on the walls of the map underwater.
Once per hour the game runs an 'Armageddon' team event. You can create your own shark team or join an existing one. The team at the top of the event leaderboard wins.
Tips for lasting longer in the arena
- Aim your boost at larger sharks to catch them off guard; they are slower to turn.
- After impaling an enemy, steer straight toward a wall immediately. The faster you pin them, the less chance they have to shake free.
- Collect ore from the map walls whenever the fight gives you breathing room. Crafted gear makes a real difference.
- Dying is not a dead end. Each defeat moves you up an evolution, so early losses are progress.
- In Armageddon, coordinate with teammates rather than going solo. A focused pack beats a scattered one.
